WINE SELECTION
WINES AGED IN ACACIA AND OAK BARRELS
The grapes for the production of wines of this series are processed by grape-stomping. Maceration of trampled grapes takes several hours to days. In exceptional cases, whole grapes are pressed. Furthermore, the wines mature on acacia and oak barrels (origin of wood in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria and France). No sulfur or other chemicals are added during the spontaneous fermentation and maturation of wine. The wines are bottled without filtration and without clarification. Wines of this series can be single-varietal or cuvée. We have also joined forces with local artists to create captivating labels inspired by local nature and the impressions of the wine.

QVEVRI AND AMPHORAE
We know from research that Georgia is considered to be the cradle of the early wine production. Wines called qvevri or kvevri were produced here in large amphorae as early as 6,000 years ago. The tradition of wine production by fermentation and maturation of trampled white and blue grapes in large clay vessels has been preserved to this day. The containers are buried underground and the largest ones can hold up to several thousand liters of mash (stomped grapes). In 2013, this method of production was included among the UNESCO heritage sites. The method of producing wines in kvevri vessels is called the Kakheti method - according to the Kakheti region of Georgia. We slightly adapted the production of these wines to the conditions of the Znojmo wine-growing sub-region.
Fermentation and maturation of grapes takes place in 250L - 600L containers for several months. Spontaneous fermentation. The wines mature in qvevri and amphorae without added sulfur. The wines are bottled without filtration and without clarification. For this series, I also produce wines in ceramic amphorae produced in a local Moravian ceramics factory.

PÉTILLANT NATUREL AND SEMI-CARBONIC MACERATION
Pétillant Naturel (pét-nat for short) is synonymous with the old method of natural sparkling wine production, known as the ancestrale method. Similar types of wine were probably produced in ancient Rome and are written about by the Roman historian Titus Livius. The wines are fermented in barrels or other containers and fermented closed in bottles. Unlike the traditional champagne method of secondary fermentation, this process is a so-called primary fermentation. Both methods differ in the aroma and taste of the finished wine as well. Pét-nat sparkling wines often have strong primary grape tones, expect playful, romantic, aristocratic wines, but also powerful, decadent, punk or elemental wines. There is a strong reflection of the terroir of the vineyard.
I let the wines of this series ferment under the crown cap in sparkling wine bottles. They are different and surprising every year. The appearance of the labels and their theme arises spontaneously only once sampled. Grapes are macerated together with the leaves for several hours to days, spontaneously fermented in barrels, glass or stainless steel containers. The wines are further fermented in a bottle and can be distinguished by a fine sparkling character. The fine yeast in each bottle adds a very interesting taste. Due to the production technology and fermentation, each piece is unique as each bottle contains a slightly different amount of alcohol, residual sugar and effervesce. Bottled without added sulfur and without filtration and clarification.
